Non-USA Domain Registrar - Recommendations? (beehaw.org)

Really simple ask. I want to complete my de-googling and de-USAing and have to transfer some domains to finish. Any recommendations for registrars?

https://inwx.com/ GmbH is based in Germany / Switzerland. I've been using them as my domain registrar for a long time now.

There's also hetzner.com for all your hosting needs. Or gandi.net from France...

Wait, Hetzner is also a domain registrar?

Pretty sure they are: https://www.hetzner.com/whois/

It's not their main business. But I believe both OVH and Hetzner as large hosting providers do domain services. I'm never sure which one to recommend. You'll always get people complain about customer support, especially with OVH.

Neat. Would have been my first choice if I knew.
